LIMITED RAIL CLAMP
Hardened Guide Blocks guide this Rail Clamp along the rail, protecting the serrated shoes from hitting the sides of the rail. This action reduces unnecessary wear and tear. The guide Blocks are easily removable for quick maintenance and replacement. Limited vertical float for rails with minimal vertical fluctuation.
BENEFITS
Because the Guided Rail Clamp is a simple mechanism with a small number of moving parts, maintenance is a breeze. The Rail Clamp jaws pull back behind the guide blocks, protecting the serrated shoes from hitting the sides of the rail. These guide Blocks are easily removable. Mechanism compensates for the loss of spring force, providing a constantly maintained clamping/holding capacity.
AVAILABLE HOLDING CAPACITIES
- LRC-HS-SF from 50 kN to 650 kN (SF Side Flange mounting)
